Old Games you remember playing but can't remember the name of.

[Italian lawyer]

Hello everybody, greetings from Italy. I found this interesting topic thanks to Google.

I'm very interested in because it's some weeks that I'm remembering something about an old-fashioned videogame that I was used to play as I was 5-6 years old- currently I'm 25, that means that the game should have been used in the early 90s- but can't just rembemer the name of.

I think it's possible to say that the genre could be described as arcade. The main character was a tiny, blond little girl that had to escape through different landscapes- mainly jungle landscapes- using lianes.

The graphics were quite old-fahioned: you could have distinghuished each single pixel.

Sorry that I can't tell something more about. That's what I could remember.

Here is a challenge, and i dont expect any one to know the answer, but if you then Kudos!

I had a game on windows 95, it was a dungeon crawler like dungeon master, but with worse graphics.
Enemies included harpies and other things. You had various character levels and skills to assign. As you got stronger so did the enemies, and you would have to find a tavern\pub to sleep and levele up. you could also by weaopsn , but it was a text interface for the tavern taverns were the top level of the dungeon and had to be entered by ladder. It possible this game was sharewhare. For some reason i thought it was called mmorpg which i realise is stupid!. its not ulitma online or anyhting, no where near that advanced.
any help would be sweet

There are great chances that the game you're looking for is: Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord, you need to sleep in an tavern to level up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsX6WRDKP7Y

Signed up to the forums so I could ask for help identifying an old game that has been on my mind for a while. Hope someone recognizes it.

Platform: Macintosh

Year: 1990's, likely before Warcraft II came out in 1996

Genre: Top-down action/fighting game for one or two players. Local multiplayer.

Gameplay: Characters have medieval weapons (I think both players just had an axe, but it might have been a sword and the characters might have held a shield in their other arm). There were simple controls for walking and for swinging swinging your weapon. Hitting your opponent enough times in his sword-arm would dismember him, disarming the player. I'm pretty sure you could play against an AI.

Presentation: View is directly top-down, not angled or isometric. Character's limbs were made of connected circles and, if I recall, the circles were shaded with a simple gradient. Characters cut by a weapon leave a trail of circular blood drops. Again, I think the blood drops were shaded with the same gradient as the character's limbs so they didn't really look like flat droplets or pools of blood. Multiplayer was split-screen until both players were close by at which point the screens would merge.

Release: this almost-certainly was something I played off of a compilation disc; I can't see it being sold as a stand-alone game.

Hello guys I am glad everyone is reminded by his old games. I wish the same thing happens for me.

Okay, I have three games :

1- An air planes game, as far as I remember some planes possess the Nazi logo on them and some contain Sovietes' logo, the planes bombard bases and destroy planes , on a green land with rivers, and some deserts too... it's old.

2- An First-Person-Shooter game, a game with a buzzard (or a hawk) logo (The color is Black and Yellow or Black and Red or the three together), its story is : a person fights terrorism I think (in Iraq), he gets kidnapped in a forest or some greenland hide-out, and also goes into caves and stuff... He uses ak47 a lot I guess ... I can't describe it more. But I think it's a little bit old (like 5 or 6 years back when I played it)

3- A 3rd-person and FPS game at the same time (I think so), a man who wears terrorists masks , when you're walking you have FPS view, when you crawl or throw grenades you go 3rd-person-view, also he can get healed, I remember it has some "kill" word in its title... I remember the demo starts when the hero is beyond a table and starts throwing grenades on some enemies behind windows, and then goes into a building where there is a helicopter...

Thanks for everyone who reminds me

I made an account for the sole purpose of finding these games. There are two I have on my mind that I just can't remember the name of. I don't remember a bunch about either of them so this might be hard. For all I know these could just be a false memory of some kind but I'll give it a shot.

#1 was a game (possibly educational) that featured frogs and/or other farm animals. I'm not 100 percent sure if it was teaching you about frogs/farm animals or it just had frogs/farm animals in it but I think it was the latter. It was a PC game and I played it in 2004, maybe 2003. I was born in 2001 and usually you start remembering things at the age of 3 so it was definitely around 2004. However, it may have been made before 2004. I just remember playing it around the age of 3 or 4. Playing it is probably one of my earliest memories, actually. Another feature in this game I remember is eggs. There were eggs that you could color and I think they were scrambled. I also think the game took place on a farm or something because I remember a farm girl with pigtails. Unfortunately, that's all I can remember

#2 was a fishing game also on the PC. I'm not itching to find out the name of this one as much as I am with #1, I'm just curious. Everything was really bland, dark (like literally dark, there were hardly colors. I remember a lot of black, dark green, and brown.) and all you did was fish in some kind of lake. This one sounds more like some creepy nightmare game but I could've swore I had played a game like this.

Any and all help is appreciated, thanks

This game has been impossible for me to find....

It's an old pc sailing game. The view was 2d and you started with a small ship sailing for some navy out of Europe. Over time you would unlock bigger ships with more crew and more guns. Mid way through the game you found all this gold and had the option to become a pirate where if you answered yes, you would get mutinied on and have to start over with a basic ship. some parts of the world you sailed to, natives would come out on little canoe boats and if they ran into your ship some of your men would die. You could fire different types of shot (disable sails, kill crew, or cause damage). They had some basic weather system when on your mini map you would be warned of "gale force wind" and such. The game is not sid meier's Pirates.

Please help me!!! This is driving me crazy that there is no info on this game... had it on pc in the early 2000's. Used to play it all the time. Thanks in advance for the help

Ghost1107: Could be Cutthroats - Terror on the High Seas?

 

[thecrow80]

So, this was around the year 2000, definitely before 2004, probably between 1999 and 2002. It was a PC game. You would always drive an armored vehicle, a tank, and the setting was apparently not Earth, but some other (kinda barren, and blue-ish?) planet. The design of the tanks was kinda futuristic, but not too much. If I'm not mistaken, other tanks would appear and you could attack them. I think the perspective was like 3rd person, but just above the tank.

BUMP

As of last night I had a weird dream that reminded me of an old game I use to play. It was a CD-ROM game back in the mid 2000's. It had an over head view, appeared to be 3D (assuming it was a 2D illusion). I believe the premise of the game was you were a circular, triangular, hexagonal, or something else shape, depending on the team you were on. You couldn't move and the only way to get anywhere was by selecting another pod (I'm just calling it a pod. No idea what it was called) and launching it. You could launch things like a sheild, or another normal pod,etc. The way you shot is you pointed the way you wanted to shoot and held down to shoot harder and let go when you thought it was the right distance. All of your pieces were connected by dotted lines that would flash. If you launched something and one of these dots landed in the water or crossed over something other then land, it would automatically be destroyed and you would have wasted a turn. The were different things you could launch to destroy the enemies but the only thing I remember is mines you could launch. There was also something that allowed you to build your own maps I believe. That's about everything I remember, please tell me if you have any idea what it is.

Hi guys, i have 3 games i would like to remember, but I cant remember much.
1. you are a fish, and you live in this underwater city, you have your own house and you do quests (or something like that). it is not finding nemo XD. but i think it is similar to that.

First one sounds like one of the Freddi Fish games. There were a bunch of different ones, but maybe check those out

Sounds like Pitfall, but the protag in Pitfall is a bloke. Maybe a variation of it?

Hello,
im looking for an rpg for playstation which was roughly released around 2009, all I can remember is the main character is a guy and theres some confusion on his part about who he is, I believe he was about 1000 years old but didn't know it. its a sword base game. there were ruins. it had a real look to it, not cartoon looking. thank you

Maybe an Assassin's Creed game? It doesnt quite match up, but that's what comes to mind for me

 

[elle.noelle]

I've been thinking of a computer game which I played throughout elementary school, mostly in kindergarten, so very early 2000s. I don't remember much about it but it was preloaded onto pretty much every school computer.

-The design was very pixel-y and mostly yellow.
-It was a bunch of mini-games in one.
-One of the mini-games that sticks out the most is where you have to bet on a horse in a horse race
-I think each horse or saddle had a different color.
-It possibly had other games that were carnival themed, but don't quote me on that because I could be confusing it with another game altogether.
Thanks B)

I can't sleep and now I'm obsessing over a fucking video game I played when I was little and I don't remember what it was. The only things I remember about it was a cut scene where a woman runs away from a castle in the middle of the night (during a storm?) carrying a baby and that there were huge pink/purple crystals everywhere. Sticking from the sides of mountains, shooting up from the ground. Maybe there was a swamp? Definitely caves filled with these crystals. I think your character lived in a cave?

Guys. This is driving me crazy. I think I played in on PC in like, the mid to late 90's. I'm starting to think it's not real and it was some kind of fever dream I had as a kid.

Heyy hope someone can help me out. Have a tough one.
Im looking for a very old game I used to play on Commodore 64 if I can remember.
The only thing I remember for the game is:
- The character is blond and muscled (he-man likely)
- As you start you get to choose between 3 weapons, I may recall one as a sling... not quit sure.
- Once you pick a weapon you jump into a hole and start the game underground.
- I think there's a dragon at the end of the stage 1.

COME ON gurus, this game haunted me for ages.

AUTO BUMP!

Thank you for replying so soon ;-) The videogame you suggested... it's not exactly the one I'm searching, but it looks very very similar. The figure of the main character was a bit... less sexy, and even more simple-designed. Do you think could it be a previous version?
